Connecting structures 3 are provided on both the left and right sides of the connecting frame 1. Cable trays 2 are movably connected to both the front and rear sides of the connecting frame 1. A fixing post 4 is fixedly connected through the upper side of the connecting frame 1. The connecting frame 1, as the main body of the entire combined connector, serves to connect and support the cable trays 2. The connecting structures 3 are used to connect the connecting frame 1 and the cable trays 2, ensuring their stability. The fixing post 4 is fixed to the upper side of the connecting frame 1, providing an installation position for subsequent heat dissipation and cleaning components.
[0024] like Figure 2-3As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: Preferably, the connecting structure 3 includes an I-shaped plate 31. Two fixing blocks 33 are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the cable tray 2. A bolt 32 is provided on the side of the fixing block 33 away from the cable tray 2. Two second threaded holes 35 are opened through the right side of the I-shaped plate 31. A first threaded hole 34 is opened through the side of the fixing block 33 away from the cable tray 2. The outer wall of the bolt 32 is threadedly connected to the first threaded hole 34 and the outer wall of the bolt 32 is threadedly connected to the second threaded hole 35. A T-shaped groove 36 is opened on the outer wall of the fixing block 33. The outer wall of the I-shaped plate 31 is movably connected to the T-shaped groove 36. Threaded posts 37 are fixedly connected to both the left and right ends of the upper side of the fixing block 33. Two positioning sleeves 38 are fixedly connected to the upper ends of both the left and right sides of the I-shaped plate 31. The inner surface of the positioning sleeve 38 is movably connected to the threaded post 37. A threaded sleeve 39 is provided above the positioning sleeve 38. The outer wall of the threaded post 37 is threadedly connected to the threaded sleeve 39. During the connection, the outer wall of the I-shaped plate 31 is first aligned with the T-slot 36 of the fixing block 33 and inserted to achieve initial positioning. At this time, the first threaded hole 34 and the second threaded hole 35 are in corresponding positions. The bolt 32 is passed through the second threaded hole 35 and screwed into the first threaded hole 34. Through the threaded connection between the bolt 32 and the two threaded holes, the I-shaped plate 31 and the fixing block 33 are fixed together, thereby realizing the connection between the connecting frame 1 and the cable tray 2. At the same time, the threaded post 37 on the fixing block 33 is inserted into the positioning sleeve 38 on the I-shaped plate 31, which further enhances the stability of the connection. Finally, the threaded sleeve 39 is tightened on the threaded post 37 to fix the I-shaped plate 31 in the vertical direction to prevent it from loosening. This connection method is simple and quick, without complicated processes. The splicing of the connecting frame 1 and the cable tray 2 can be completed through a few simple operation steps.

When the motor 7 starts, the two output ends of the motor 7 drive the drive shaft 8 to rotate. The upper drive shaft 8 drives the fan 9 to rotate. The airflow generated by the fan 9 can agitate the air inside the cable tray 2, promote air circulation, and remove the heat generated by the cable during operation, thereby achieving the heat dissipation function of the cable. This effectively reduces the heat accumulation of the cable during operation and prevents the cable insulation layer from aging faster due to long-term high temperature. The lower drive shaft 8 drives the circular block 10 to rotate. The cleaning plate 11 on the circular block 10 rotates with the circular block 10.

[0026] The working principle of this modular connector for cable tray installation will be explained in detail below.
[0027] like Figure 1-5As shown, the connecting frame 1, as the main body of the entire combined connecting component, serves to connect and support the cable tray 2. The connecting structure 3 is used to connect the connecting frame 1 and the cable tray 2, ensuring their stability. The fixing post 4 is fixed on the upper side of the connecting frame 1, providing an installation position for subsequent heat dissipation and cleaning components. During connection, the outer wall of the I-shaped plate 31 is first aligned with the T-slot 36 of the fixing block 33 and inserted to achieve initial positioning. At this time, the first threaded hole 34 and the second threaded hole 35 correspond in position. The bolt 32 is passed through the second threaded hole 35 and screwed into the first threaded hole 34. Through the threaded connection of the bolt 32 with the two threaded holes, the I-shaped plate 31 and the fixing block 33 are fixed together, thereby achieving the connection between the connecting frame 1 and the cable tray 2. At the same time, the threaded post 37 on the fixing block 33 is inserted into the positioning sleeve 38 on the I-shaped plate 31, further enhancing the stability of the connection. Finally, the threaded sleeve 39 is tightened onto the threaded post 37. The upper part of the I-shaped plate 31 is fixed vertically to prevent it from loosening. This connection method is simple and quick, requiring no complicated process. The splicing of the connecting frame 1 and the cable tray 2 can be completed through a few simple operation steps. When the motor 7 starts, the two output ends of the motor 7 drive the drive shaft 8 to rotate. The upper drive shaft 8 drives the fan 9 to rotate. The airflow generated by the fan 9 can agitate the air inside the cable tray 2, promote air circulation, and remove the heat generated by the cable during operation, thereby achieving the heat dissipation function of the cable. This effectively reduces the heat accumulation of the cable during operation and prevents the cable insulation layer from aging faster due to long-term high temperature. The lower drive shaft 8 drives the circular block 10 to rotate. The cleaning plate 11 on the circular block 10 rotates with the circular block 10. The cleaning surface of the cleaning plate 11 contacts the dustproof plate 5 and slides on its surface, which can clean the dust and debris on the surface of the dustproof plate 5, keep the dustproof plate 5 clean, improve the air circulation efficiency, and thus improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the device.
