Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable tray technology, specifically a cable tray for network technology management. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of network technology, cable trays, as key equipment for supporting and protecting cables in network engineering, have become an important part of the construction of data centers and network cabling systems due to their intelligent management, adaptability, and security. However, traditional cable trays have many limitations in design and function, making it difficult to meet the needs of modern network engineering for efficient, intelligent, and reliable cabling.
[0003] Traditional cable trays mostly employ a fixed structure, using a simple sorting mechanism to secure the cables. For example, patent CN212210411 U discloses a cable tray device for integrated cabling in network engineering. This device features a sorting mechanism at the bottom of the tray, using a top mount and base, along with springs and guide rods, to sort and secure cables of different sizes. While this design improves the efficiency and reduces the workload of maintenance personnel to some extent, the design limitations of the cable tray structure mean that densely packed cables may affect heat dissipation, leading to localized temperature increases. Although the aforementioned patent optimizes cable arrangement through the sorting mechanism, it does not specifically address heat dissipation performance and therefore cannot effectively solve this problem. In light of this, in-depth research was conducted to address these issues, leading to this case. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides an implementation scheme: In order to optimize the layout of cable trays, current cable trays sometimes have a separator device inside the cable tray for classification. However, due to the design limitations of the cable tray structure, the heat dissipation effect may be affected when the cables are densely arranged, resulting in local temperature rise. Although the arrangement of cables is optimized by the classification mechanism, no special design is made for heat dissipation performance, and the problem of heat dissipation cannot be effectively solved.
[0021] To address the aforementioned issues, this application discloses a cable tray for network technology management, comprising a cable tray base 1. The cable tray base 1 is a rectangular shell structure, serving as the main housing and support structure for cables. Its rectangular cross-section provides sufficient space and mechanical strength. A pair of fixed edges 2 are provided on both sides of the cable tray base 1. The fixed edges 2 are used to install and fix the cable tray as a whole onto a wall, ceiling, or bracket, forming the foundation for load-bearing. Several mounting holes 3 are evenly distributed on the pair of fixed edges 2, providing points for bolts or other fasteners to pass through, enabling convenient and stable installation and disassembly of the cable tray. The bottom surface of the cable tray base 1 is provided with enhanced heat dissipation fins 4. These enhanced heat dissipation fins 4 are the core structure for external heat dissipation of the cable tray, significantly increasing the effective heat dissipation surface area at the bottom of the cable tray. The enhanced heat dissipation fins are arranged in a linear array on the bottom surface of the cable tray base 1. This linear array arrangement maximizes the heat dissipation area while ensuring structural strength and facilitates airflow between the fins to remove heat, improving the efficiency of natural convection heat dissipation.
[0022] According to the instruction manual Figure 1-3 It can be seen that the inner side of the cable tray base 1 is provided with an installation guide groove 5. The installation guide groove 5 is the installation track of the embedded heat dissipation module, providing precise positioning and guidance. The installation guide groove 5 is a rectangular groove. The rectangular groove structure is simple, reliable, easy to process, and can constrain the movement direction of the support block 7. Several heat exchange fins 6 are arranged in a linear array inside the installation guide groove 5. The heat exchange fins 6 are the key components for heat dissipation inside the cable tray. They are in direct contact with the cable surface, increasing the internal heat exchange area and efficiently absorbing the heat generated by the cable during operation.
[0023] The mounting guide groove 5 is equipped with a support block 7, which is the base of the internal heat dissipation module and provides a structure for cable separation and fixation. The support block has a number of heat exchange grooves 8 and heat exchange plates 6 arranged in a linear array. The trapezoidal cross-sectional shape of the heat exchange grooves 8 and the heat exchange plates 6 are precisely matched to ensure that the heat exchange plates 6 can be accurately inserted into the heat exchange grooves 8 of the support block 7, forming a stable connection and a good heat conduction path, so as to efficiently transfer the heat of the cable to the entire heat dissipation module.
[0024] A pair of pressure rods 9 are provided on both sides of the support block 7. The pressure rods 9 are the force arms of the elastic clamping components and are used to transmit clamping force. A pressure block 10 is assembled on one side of the support block 7. The pressure block 10 and the support block 7 cooperate to form the clamping space for the cable. Its position is adjustable to adapt to different cable bundle sizes. A pair of elastic clamping components are provided on both sides of the pressure block 10 and cooperate with the pair of pressure rods 9. The elastic clamping components connect the pressure block 10 and the pressure rods 9, providing an adjustable and continuous elastic clamping force to ensure that the pressure block 10 can firmly press the cable bundle, while allowing the cable to undergo slight displacement due to thermal expansion and contraction or vibration, so as to avoid damage to the cable insulation layer.
[0025] A number of pairs of slots 11 are symmetrically arranged between the support block 7 and the pressure block 10. The pairs of slots 11 are located on the opposite surfaces of the support block 7 and the pressure block 10, respectively, to accommodate and fix the cable. When the support block 7 and the pressure block 10 are closed, the opposite slots 11 are precisely aligned to form a complete circular through hole, which constrains the cable in the hole, realizing orderly separation, fixation and positioning, effectively preventing the cable from tangling or shifting, and ensuring that the cable maintains good contact with the heat exchange plate 6 to facilitate heat dissipation.
[0026] As a preferred option, furthermore, several pairs of heat dissipation holes 12 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the cable tray base 1. The heat dissipation holes 12 are key channels for air exchange between the inside of the cable tray and the external environment, forming a convection path. Hot air rises and is discharged through the heat dissipation holes 12, while cold air is replenished from the bottom or side, enhancing the air circulation inside the cable tray and synergistically enhancing the function of the heat dissipation fins 4 and the internal heat exchange fins 6, significantly improving the overall heat dissipation capacity.
[0027] As a preferred option, the top of the cable tray base 1 is provided with a sliding sealing cover 13. The sliding sealing cover 13 provides closed protection for the top opening of the cable tray, preventing dust and debris from entering, and can be easily opened when maintenance is required. A pair of guide sides are provided on both sides of the sliding sealing cover 13, which cooperate with a pair of sealing strips 14 of the top opening of the cable tray base 1. The precise cooperation between the guide sides and the sealing strips 14 ensures that the sliding sealing cover 13 can slide smoothly open and close along the length of the cable tray, and also achieves a good seal when closed.
[0028] As a preferred option, furthermore, the cross-section of several heat exchange fins 6 is trapezoidal. The trapezoidal cross-section design facilitates insertion into the heat exchange groove 8 of the support block 7, achieving self-centering and stable fit; on the other hand, it increases the heat dissipation surface area in contact with or adjacent to the cable, optimizing heat transfer efficiency.
[0029] As a preferred option, furthermore, several reinforcing heat sinks are integrally formed with the bridge base 1. This integral forming eliminates the connection thermal resistance, making the heat sinks and the bridge base 1 a highly efficient heat-conducting whole, and ensuring a robust structure. The several reinforcing heat sinks are rectangular plates, which are simple in structure and easy to manufacture.
[0030] As a preferred embodiment, the elastic clamping assembly further includes a clamping nut 15, which is an operating component for adjusting the clamping force. The clamping nut 15 is threaded to the top of the pressure rod 9, and the threaded connection provides a precise, continuous, and lockable clamping force adjustment method. A positioning spring 16 is connected to the bottom of the clamping nut 15 and presses it onto the support block 7. The positioning spring 16 is located between the clamping nut 15 and the pressure block 10. When the clamping nut 15 is tightened, the spring is compressed to generate elastic force, which is transmitted to the pressure block 10 through the pressure rod 9, causing it to press the cable bundle towards the support block 7.
[0031] Working process: During installation, first, fix the cable tray base 1 in the predetermined position through the mounting holes 3 on the fixed edge 2. Then, precisely insert the heat exchange groove 8 at the bottom of the support block 7 into the gap of the heat exchange fins 6 in the mounting guide groove 5 inside the cable tray base 1 to complete the basic installation of the internal heat dissipation module. After classifying the cables, place them into the corresponding semicircular slots 11 on the support block 7. Place the pressure block 10 in the corresponding position on the support block 7 so that the slots 11 on the pressure block 10 and the slots 11 on the support block 7 are aligned to form complete circular cable holes. By rotating the clamping nuts 15 at the top of the pressure rods 9 on both sides of the pressure block 10, the positioning springs 16 are compressed, thereby driving the pressure block 10 to move towards the support block 7, and firmly clamping the cable bundle in the space provided by the support block 7 and the support block 7. Within the circular through-hole formed by the pressure blocks 10, the clamping force is maintained constant by a spring. With the sliding sealing cover 13 on top, the heat generated by the cable during operation is mainly dissipated through three paths. First, it is directly conducted to the closely contacting support block 7 / pressure block 10 and the internal heat exchange fin 6. Then, it is transferred to the entire cable tray structure through the integral connection between the heat exchange fin 6 and the cable tray base 1. Second, the heat is transferred to the inner wall of the cable tray and the heat exchange fin 6 through radiation and convection. The integrated heat dissipation fins 4 on the bottom surface of the cable tray base 1 greatly increase the heat dissipation area and accelerate the dissipation of heat to the ambient air. Finally, the symmetrical heat dissipation holes 12 on both sides of the cable tray promote the upward exhaust of internal hot air (chimney effect) and draw in external cold air to form convection, thus synergistically improving the heat dissipation efficiency.
[0032] In summary, this cable tray significantly increases the external heat dissipation area through the integrated heat sink on the bottom surface. Internally, it features pluggable support blocks 7 with trapezoidal heat exchange fins 6 and pressure block modules 10. These features efficiently separate and fix cables while significantly increasing the internal heat exchange surface. The heat dissipation holes 12 on both sides promote air convection, the elastic clamping components provide safe constant pressure, and the integrated structure eliminates thermal resistance. These combined features enable efficient dual-path heat dissipation, effectively solving the problem of temperature rise in densely packed cables, improving the reliability of the network system, and the sliding sealing cover 13 provides both protection and convenient maintenance.
