Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable tray technology, specifically a lightweight, energy-saving molded cable tray. Background Technology
[0002] Molded cable trays are cable trays formed by die stamping. Their core feature is that they improve mechanical performance through a three-dimensional structure with concave and convex shapes, while also achieving material saving and energy conservation. Molded cable trays are made of steel plates by high-pressure stamping, changing the traditional flat structure into a three-dimensional structure with concave and convex shapes (such as corrugated bottom or double-ribbed side plates), and improving strength through cold work hardening of the material.
[0003] Chinese patent CN222395396U discloses a molded grooved cable tray. The grooved cable tray formed by the base plate, side plate and cross plate has better pressure resistance than ordinary cable trays. The first strip protrusion, the second strip protrusion and the arc groove form a convex beam effect, which effectively improves the lateral stiffness. The connection with the side plate improves the overall structural strength. In this way, the deformation of the base plate of the cable tray is prevented, which effectively ensures the installation efficiency and quality of the workers.
[0004] While the above solutions improve the lateral stiffness of the cable tray by adding strip protrusions, the overall weight of the cable tray remains too heavy, failing to meet the requirement of both lightweight design and high structural strength. Therefore, we provide a lightweight, energy-saving molded cable tray to address these issues. Utility Model Content
[0005] 1) Technical problems to be solved
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a lightweight, energy-saving molded cable tray.
[0007] (ii) Technical Solution
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a lightweight, energy-saving molded cable tray, comprising:
[0009] The main body of the cable tray includes a base plate and two side plates.
[0010] Multiple first reinforcement components are equally spaced on the base plate. Each first reinforcement component includes a first rectangular protrusion, on which a first weight-reducing groove is formed. A first support rod is fixedly connected inside the first weight-reducing groove.
[0011] Multiple second reinforcement components are equally spaced on the side member. Each second reinforcement component includes a second rectangular protrusion, on which a second weight-reducing groove is formed. A second support rod is fixedly connected inside the second weight-reducing groove.
[0012] Furthermore, a bent part is provided at the end of the side member away from the bottom plate member, and an installation groove is formed between the bent part and the side member.
[0013] Furthermore, the base plate, the side plate, and the bending member are an integral structure, all of which are processed by a bending machine.
[0014] Furthermore, the base plate is provided with two first reinforcing grooves, and the first reinforcing component is located between the two first reinforcing grooves.
[0015] Furthermore, the side member is provided with two second reinforcing grooves, and the second reinforcing component is located between the two second reinforcing grooves.
[0016] Furthermore, connecting grooves are provided at both ends of the side member.
[0017] (iii) Beneficial effects:
[0018] Compared with existing technologies, this lightweight, energy-saving molded cable tray has the following advantages:
[0019] I. This utility model significantly reduces the weight of the cable tray by setting rectangular protrusions with weight-reducing grooves on the base plate and side plate, and forming the first and second weight-reducing grooves by stamping process, thus meeting the requirements of lightweighting. The first and second support rods fixed in the weight-reducing grooves are like built-in "invisible skeletons" to provide strong support for the cable tray. Combined with the molded reinforcement grooves, the structural strength is enhanced from the horizontal and vertical directions, so that the cable tray can still have reliable load-bearing capacity and deformation resistance while being lightweight, thus solving the contradiction between lightweighting and high strength in traditional cable trays.
[0020] Second, this utility model adopts an integrated bending process for the base plate, side parts and bending parts of the cable tray body. Compared with the traditional multi-part assembly method, it reduces the connection process, reduces the error and loosening risk caused by the splicing of parts, and makes the overall structure of the cable tray more stable. The integrated molding process not only simplifies the manufacturing process and improves production efficiency, but also reduces material waste, which is in line with the concept of energy conservation and environmental protection and reduces production costs.

[0026] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a lightweight energy-saving molded cable tray, including a cable tray body, multiple first reinforcing components and multiple second reinforcing components.
[0027] The main body of the cable tray includes a base plate 1 and two side plates 2. A bending member 3 is provided at the end of the side plate 2 away from the base plate 1, and an installation groove is formed between the bending member 3 and the side plate 2. The bending member 3 is L-shaped with its bent part facing downward. The bending member 3 is fixed in a suitable position through the installation groove formed by the bending member 3 and the side plate 2, or the cover plate is fixed above the base plate 1 through the installation groove.
[0028] The base plate 1, side plate 2, and bending plate 3 are an integral structure, all processed by a bending machine. The base plate 1, side plate 2, and bending plate 3 are formed by bending a single plate. The base plate 1 serves as the support part for the cable, and the side plate 2 serves as the side limiting part for the cable on the base plate 1.
[0029] Both ends of the side member 2 are provided with connecting grooves 4, so that the connecting member can complete the connection to the adjacent cable tray body through the connecting grooves 4 on the side member 2.
[0030] Multiple first reinforcing components are equally spaced on the base plate 1. Each first reinforcing component includes a first rectangular protrusion 5. A first weight-reducing groove 6 is formed on the first rectangular protrusion 5. A first support rod 7 is fixedly connected in the first weight-reducing groove 6. The first rectangular protrusion 5 is formed on the base plate 1 by molding, while the first weight-reducing groove 6 is formed on the first rectangular protrusion 5 by stamping. The first weight-reducing groove 6 is used to reduce the weight of the base plate 1 itself, thereby achieving the effect of lightweighting the cable tray. The first support rod 7 forms a support in the first rectangular protrusion 5 to enhance the structural strength of the cable tray itself.
[0031] The base plate 1 is provided with two first reinforcing grooves 8, and the first reinforcing component is located between the two first reinforcing grooves 8. The first reinforcing grooves 8 are formed on the base plate 1 by molding, which can improve the lateral structural strength of the base plate 1.
[0032] Multiple second reinforcing components are equally spaced on the side member 2. Each second reinforcing component includes a second rectangular protrusion 10, on which a second weight-reducing groove 11 is formed. A second support rod 12 is fixedly connected within the second weight-reducing groove 11. The second rectangular protrusion 10 is formed on the side member 2 by molding, while the second weight-reducing groove 11 is formed on the second rectangular protrusion 10 by stamping. The second weight-reducing groove 11 is used to reduce the weight of the base plate member 1, thereby achieving the effect of lightweighting the cable tray. The second support rod 12 forms a support within the second rectangular protrusion 10 to enhance the structural strength of the cable tray. The arrangement direction of the first support rod 7 and the second support rod 12 can be either cross-shaped or in the same direction.
[0033] The side member 2 is provided with two second reinforcing grooves 9, and the second reinforcing component is located between the two second reinforcing grooves 9. The second reinforcing grooves 9 are formed on the side member 2 by molding, which can improve the lateral structural strength of the side member 2.
