Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cable equipment technology, and in particular to an anti-wear cable laying system for bridge expansion joint areas. Background Technology

[0002] The cables laid on the bridge include communication cables and signal cables, which share a cable tray and are separated by steel partitions to reduce electromagnetic interference. However, during operation, the bridge experiences thermal expansion and contraction due to temperature changes, and vibrations from passing vehicles also cause slight movements in the bridge structure, leading to repeated displacement of the cables within the cable tray. Particularly in the bridge expansion joint area, due to the 30-centimeter height difference between the two sides (one side is steel, the other reinforced concrete), cables easily accumulate at the expansion joint and wear down due to continuous friction, severely affecting cable lifespan and signal transmission reliability, thus impacting the safety of bridge operation.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 This application provides an embodiment of an abrasion-resistant cable laying system for bridge expansion joint areas, comprising:

[0026] Cable tray 1;

[0027] The first roller support assembly 2 is set within a preset range corresponding to the bridge expansion joint area;

[0028] The second roller bracket assembly 3 is disposed on both sides of the first roller bracket assembly 2;

[0029] The first roller bracket assembly 2 and the second roller bracket assembly 3 are installed in the cable channel 1; the first roller bracket assembly 2 and the second roller bracket assembly 3 are used to place signal cables and communication cables.

[0030] Specifically, cable tray 1 is typically made of reinforced concrete or steel structure and serves as the installation foundation for the entire system, accommodating the first roller support assembly 2, the second roller support assembly 3, signal cables, and communication cables. Its structure can adopt a U-shaped or rectangular cross-section, possessing sufficient mechanical strength and corrosion resistance to meet the long-term usage requirements of the bridge environment. Furthermore, the surface of cable tray 1 is relatively smooth to prevent cable abrasion.

[0031] The bridge expansion joint area refers to the junction between the steel structure and the reinforced concrete structure, where there is typically a 30-centimeter height difference between the two sides. The preset range can be set according to actual construction needs.

[0032] The first roller support assembly 2 is set within a preset range corresponding to the bridge expansion joint area to support the signal cables and communication cables in that area and allow them to slide axially during bridge expansion and contraction, thereby reducing frictional losses.

[0033] In one embodiment, the first roller support assembly 2 includes a plurality of first roller units 21, and adjacent first roller units 21 are connected by a connecting plate assembly 4.

[0034] Specifically, since the first roller support assembly 2 is set within a preset range corresponding to the bridge expansion joint area, the length of the first roller unit 21 cannot be too long in order to connect at the corresponding location of the bridge expansion joint area.

[0035] The first roller unit 21 includes a first roller 211, and a first fixing plate 212 and a second fixing plate 213 are respectively connected to both sides of the first roller 211; at least one of the first fixing plate 212 and the second fixing plate 213 is connected to the cable channel 1.

[0036] Specifically, the first roller 211 can be a hollow structure with a rotating shaft passing through the middle. The two ends of the rotating shaft are movably connected to the first fixed plate 212 and the second fixed plate 213, respectively, so that the first roller 211 can rotate along its axial direction. At least one of the first fixed plate 212 and the second fixed plate 213 is connected to the cable channel 1 to fix the first roller unit 21 within the cable channel 1, preventing it from moving within the cable channel 1 and thus causing the cable to move. It is understood that both the first fixed plate 212 and the second fixed plate 213 have pre-drilled through holes to fix them to the cable channel 1 with screws. It is also understood that fixing one of the first fixed plates 212 and the second fixed plate 213 to the cable channel 1 achieves the goal of fixing the first roller unit 21 within the cable channel 1, while fixing both the first fixed plate 212 and the second fixed plate 213 to the cable channel 1 provides a more stable fixation of the first roller unit 21 within the cable channel 1.

[0037] In one embodiment, both the first fixing plate 212 and the second fixing plate 213 are L-shaped plates, with one side of the L-shaped plate connected to the first roller 211 and the other side of the L-shaped plate connected to the cable channel 1.

[0038] Specifically, three through holes are made on one side of the L-shaped plate. The rotating shaft inside the first roller 211 passes through the middle through hole, and the through holes at both ends are used to connect the connecting plate assembly 4. Through holes are made on the other side of the L-shaped plate to fix the L-shaped plate to the cable channel 1.

[0039] In one embodiment, the connecting plate assembly 4 includes at least one first connecting plate 41 to accommodate expansion joints of different lengths. The number of first connecting plates 41 is determined by the width of the expansion joint and the length of the first connecting plates 41.

[0040] To make the first roller support assembly 2 more stable, a third connecting plate 6 can be connected between the first roller support assembly 2 and the second roller support assembly 3.

[0041] In one embodiment, the second roller support assembly 3 includes a plurality of second roller units 31.

[0042] Specifically, since the second roller support assembly 3 is located outside the preset range corresponding to the bridge expansion joint area, there is no connection problem. The length of the second roller unit 31 can be set slightly longer, which facilitates installation and maintenance. The second roller support assembly 3 is arranged on both sides of the first roller support assembly 2 to further distribute the stress on the cable and prevent the cable from experiencing local wear due to vibration or displacement in the non-expansion joint area.

[0043] To ensure the stability of the second roller unit 31 within the cable channel 1, a second connecting plate 5 can be connected between adjacent second roller units 31.

[0044] In one embodiment, each second roller unit 31 includes a plurality of parallel second rollers 311, and a third fixing plate 312 and a fourth fixing plate 313 are respectively connected to both sides of all the second rollers 311; at least one of the third fixing plate 312 or the fourth fixing plate 313 is connected to the cable channel 1.

[0045] Both the third fixing plate 312 and the fourth fixing plate 313 are L-shaped plates. One side of the L-shaped plate is connected to the second roller 311, and the other side of the L-shaped plate is connected to the cable channel 1. The structure of the third fixing plate 312 and the fourth fixing plate 313 and their connection with the cable channel 1 are the same as those of the first fixing plate 212 and the second fixing plate 213.

[0046] Specifically, the length of the second roller unit 31 is greater than the length of the first roller unit 21. The second roller unit 31 includes several parallel second rollers 311, each of which can rotate independently to ensure uniform force distribution when the cable moves. The multiple parallel second rollers 311 provide multi-point, multi-directional support, allowing the cable to maintain flexible sliding in non-expansion joint areas of the bridge and avoiding stress concentration.

[0047] The lengths of the first roller bracket assembly 2 and the second roller bracket assembly 3 can be set according to actual needs, and their widths can be set according to the width of the cable channel 1.

[0048] In use, first fix the first roller bracket assembly 2 and the second roller bracket assembly 3 in the cable channel 1, and then lay the cable above the first roller bracket assembly 2 and the second roller bracket assembly 3.

[0049] The anti-wear cable laying system for bridge expansion joint areas provided in this application embodiment reduces cable surface loss by installing a first roller support assembly and a second roller support assembly within the cable duct and converting sliding friction into rolling friction through the roller structure. The modular design of the first and second roller support assemblies facilitates adjustment of the number and layout of supports. Furthermore, the design of the L-shaped plate and the first, second, and third connecting plates ensures the stability of the first and second roller support assemblies, enabling them to adapt to harsh environments.

[0050] The above are merely specific embodiments of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
