[0024] Example 1

[0025] like Figures 1-4 As shown: A cable reel support includes a base and a rotating disk. The rotating disk is rotatably mounted on the base and can rotate freely relative to the base. In use, the cable reel is placed on the rotating disk, and the cable is tensioned and released as the rotating disk rotates.

[0026] Specifically, in this embodiment, the base is made of square steel and arranged in a cross shape, capable of bearing the weight of the entire cable reel. The base is a telescopic cross base 1, which includes a cross support. Each of the four support arms of the cross support is nested with a telescopic arm 2. The telescopic arm 2 can freely extend and retract relative to the corresponding side wall on the cross support and is locked by a locking device, which uses a wing bolt 3.

[0027] The telescopic design of the telescopic cross base 1 allows for quick and precise adjustment of the cross base's span according to the diameter of the cable reel 4, accommodating reels of different sizes (e.g., from 0.5 meters to 1.5 meters in diameter). This significantly improves the equipment's versatility and avoids the hassle of customizing brackets for each type of reel. This solves the problem of poor adaptability to different reel sizes found in the original solution.

[0028] Height-adjustable feet 5 are also provided at the bottom of the side wall of the telescopic cross base 1. The tilt of the telescopic cross base 1 can be adjusted by the height-adjustable feet 5, so that the telescopic cross base 1 can adapt to the ground and remain level even when the ground is uneven. Specifically, the height-adjustable feet 5 include threaded rods provided at the bottom of the end of the telescopic arm. The threaded rods are threaded to the side wall of the telescopic arm. By adjusting the threaded rods, the four corners of the telescopic cross base can be fixed to the ground. For better support, anti-slip pads are fixed at the bottom of the threaded rods.

[0029] The height-adjustable support feet (5) allow the base to stably support the bracket on uneven ground (such as gravel and slopes commonly found on construction sites), keeping the reel level and preventing tipping. Simultaneously, the fine-tuning height can match the height of the cable laying entry point, optimizing the cable laying angle. This significantly improves adaptability and stability in complex, confined spaces.

[0030] In order to achieve relative stability between the rotating disk 6 and the base, and to enable the rotating disk 6 to rotate relative to the center of the base, a guide rod 7 is vertically installed at the center of the base. The guide rod 7 is used for the cable reel to prevent the cable reel from deviating during rotation.

[0031] The guide rod is designed as a tapered guide rod, with a larger diameter at the bottom and gradually tapering upwards. This helps guide the cable reel 4 to automatically align its center hole, reducing installation difficulty. The tapered guide rod is vertically positioned at the center of the base, and the rotating disk 6 has a through hole at its center, allowing the center of the rotating disk 6 to be fitted onto the guide rod and then placed on the base. During cable laying, the cable reel 4 and the rotating disk 6 roll above the bearing, saving effort and improving cable laying efficiency.

[0032] In order to enable the rotating disk 6 to rotate smoothly between itself and the base, a bearing 8 is provided on the upper surface of the base. Specifically, a bearing 8 is fixed on the upper surface of each of the four support arms of the telescopic cross base 1 through a bearing seat. The rotation direction of the bearing 8 is perpendicular to the support arm, so that the bottom of the rotating disk 6 contacts the bearing 8 and can rotate with the bearing 8, ultimately enabling the rotating disk 6 to rotate smoothly relative to the base.

[0033] A ring-shaped buffer pad 9 is provided around the bottom perimeter of the guide rod 7. The ring-shaped buffer pad 9 is a wear-resistant rubber pad. The ring-shaped buffer pad 9 can provide a certain degree of support and buffering at the center of the rotating disk 6 when it is placed on the base, and can also provide support at the center of the rotating disk during rotation. Moreover, the ring-shaped buffer pad can absorb the impact when the reel is lowered.

[0034] This embodiment also includes a safety protection module, which comprises an anti-derailment chain 10 and a reel position locking pin 11. A hook ring 12 is installed on the cross base (near the edge of the reel), and two adjustable-length nylon anti-derailment chains are provided. In use, the anti-derailment chain 10 passes over the bottom edge of the cable reel 4, and both ends of the nylon anti-derailment chain are fastened to the hook ring 12, forming a simple yet effective anti-tipping / derailment device, particularly suitable for situations where space is limited and collisions may occur.

[0035] The rotating disk 6 is provided with a number of positioning holes 13 arranged in a circumferential direction. Each of the four support arms of the cross support is provided with a pin hole 14. The positioning holes 13 can correspond to the pin holes 14. During the rotation of the rotating disk 6, the positioning holes 13 alternately correspond to the pin holes 14. When the reel needs to be stopped, the locking pin 11 is inserted into the positioning holes 13 and the pin holes 14 to achieve quick locking, effectively prevent the rotating disk and reel from rotating accidentally, and improve operational safety.

[0036] The operating procedure for using this utility model is as follows:

[0037] Adjust the cross arm of the telescopic cross base to match the reel diameter, and tighten the wing bolts;

[0038] Adjustable height rotating feet, leveling and retractable cross base;

[0039] Place the reel, and use a tapered guide rod to guide the center hole to self-center;

[0040] Fasten the anti-slip strap and pull out the locking pin;

[0041] During installation, the reel rolls along the bearing with the rotating disc; when it is necessary to stop the reel rotation, insert the locking pin into the positioning hole 13 and the pin hole 14, and the rotating disc will stop rotating, and the corresponding reel will not rotate either.

[0042] This utility model is low in cost, easy to maintain, and portable; it allows for convenient cable laying in confined spaces, and the lightweight support reduces maintenance costs. The reel support is highly adaptable; its telescopic base and height-adjustable legs allow it to perfectly adapt to cable reels of different sizes and various complex and confined construction site conditions. The tapered guide rod achieves self-centering; integrated anti-derailment and locking pins significantly improve operational safety and prevent accidents.

[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
