Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a waterproof frame, and more particularly to a waterproof frame with side perforations for cable trays. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional rain covers only cover the external openings of the enclosure, allowing rainwater to backflow along the cable tray surface into the gap between the cover and the enclosure. Furthermore, the metal pipes directly connect the inside and outside of the enclosure, creating a heat conduction path. Actual measurements show that cold bridge heat loss accounts for more than 15%. Existing rain covers use external mounting types, which have assembly gaps between the cover and the enclosure, resulting in a water seepage rate of >5% during heavy rain. Alternatively, flange connections are used without insulation material, leading to condensation inside the enclosure due to cold bridges. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a waterproof frame with side perforations for cable trays, which solves the problems of rainwater flowing back into the box along the cable tray and the lack of blockage of cold bridges.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a waterproof cable tray frame with side perforation, comprising a housing, an opening in the housing, a sub-frame within the opening, a waterproof frame within the sub-frame, and a cable tray externally covered with insulation cotton within the waterproof frame. The waterproof frame includes a top plate, a bottom plate, and side plates respectively disposed on both sides of the top and bottom plates. A cable tray installation channel is formed between the top plate, the bottom plate, and the two side plates. The cable tray installation channel has an inclined portion near the outside of the housing and a horizontal portion near the inside of the housing. The inclined portion is inclined upwards, and the horizontal portion is horizontal. The structure is configured such that the horizontal part is located at the upper end of the inclined part. An inverted L-shaped upward folding edge is provided above the cable tray installation channel on the outer side wall of the subframe, and an L-shaped downward folding edge is provided below. The side plates and top plates on both sides of the cable tray installation channel form an upper groove with the upward folding edge, and the side plates and bottom plates on both sides of the cable tray installation channel form a lower groove with the downward folding edge. The periphery of the upper and lower grooves of the waterproof frame is fixedly connected to the side wall of the subframe located outside the box body by full welding. The upper and lower metal plates on the side wall inside the box body located at the upper and lower edges of the cable tray installation channel are respectively fully welded to the subframe.

[0005] Furthermore, a silicone weather-resistant adhesive is provided between the waterproof frame and the thermal insulation cotton, and the silicone weather-resistant adhesive has a filling rate of ≥95%.

[0006] Furthermore, the space between the upper groove, the subframe, the top plate, and the upper metal plate forms an upper cavity, and the space between the lower groove, the subframe, the bottom plate, and the lower metal plate forms a lower cavity. Both the upper cavity and the lower cavity are filled with foaming agent.

[0007] Furthermore, the fully welded seam is coated with a zinc-chromium coating both inside and out.

[0008] Furthermore, the inclined portion of the cable tray installation channel has an upward tilt angle of 60°.

[0009] The beneficial effects of the above-mentioned structure are as follows: The cable tray side-perforated waterproof frame provided by the present invention, by setting the cable tray installation channel inclined upward and covering the outside of the cable tray with thermal insulation cotton, can prevent rainwater from flowing back into the box along the cable tray. The thermal insulation cotton blocks heat conduction, reducing cold bridge heat loss by 90%, and realizing the dual functions of rainproofing and cold bridge blocking at the opening of the cable tray.

[0021] The space between the upper groove 13, the subframe 2, the top plate 5 and the upper metal plate 15 forms an upper cavity 17, and the space between the lower groove 14, the subframe 2, the bottom plate 6 and the lower metal plate 16 forms a lower cavity 18. Both the upper cavity 17 and the lower cavity 18 are filled with foaming agent, which can achieve the fixation and heat preservation of the waterproof frame 3.

[0022] The fully welded seam is coated with a zinc-chromium coating on both the inside and outside to prevent the seam from rusting.

[0023] The inclined part 9 of the cable tray installation channel 8 is inclined upward at an angle of 60°, which can effectively prevent rainwater from flowing back into the box 1.

[0024] During installation, the waterproof frame 3 is placed into the subframe 2 through the rectangular hole on the side wall of the housing 1, with the inclined part 9 facing outwards, ensuring that the upper folded edge 11 and the lower folded edge 12 are in close contact with the outer wall of the subframe 2; the outer wall of the subframe 2 is fully welded to the upper folded edge 11 and the lower folded edge 12 respectively, and zinc chromium coating is applied inside and outside the weld for rust prevention; foaming agent is injected into the upper cavity 17 and the lower cavity 18, and after it has fully expanded, the excess part is cut off; the upper metal plate 15 is fully welded to the upper edge of the cable tray installation channel 8 inside the housing 1 and the subframe 2 respectively, sealing the upper cavity 17; the lower metal plate 16 is fully welded to the lower edge of the cable tray installation channel 8 inside the housing 1 and the subframe 2 respectively, sealing the lower cavity 18; the insulation cotton 19 is wrapped around the outside of the cable tray 4, and then the whole thing is placed into the waterproof frame 3. After adjusting the position of the cable tray 4 appropriately, silicone sealant is injected into the gap between the insulation cotton 19 and the waterproof frame 3 to form a seal.

[0025] The beneficial effects of the above-mentioned structure are as follows: The cable tray side-perforated waterproof frame provided by the present invention, by setting the cable tray installation channel inclined upward and covering the outside of the cable tray with thermal insulation cotton, can prevent rainwater from flowing back into the box along the cable tray.
